Chapter 719 - 716: Youu Slays the Supremes

Chapter 719: Chapter 716: Youu Slays the Supremes

The newcomers were Xia Hao, the second young master of the Xia Family, followed by two Supreme Realm experts.

With them was a group of formidable followers, including Jin Zhao, the Patriarch of the Jin Family.

They drifted closer from the distance, appearing on the opposite side. This positioned them directly across from Wan Shan’s group, trapping Jiang Jichen and Youu in the middle.

At this moment, Jiang Jichen was grievously injured, his Dao Body on the verge of collapse.

Youu, a Supreme Realm expert, also looked incredibly weak, as if about to fall asleep.

Thus, in everyone’s eyes, Jiang Jichen was meat on the chopping block, ready to be carved up as they pleased.

Therefore, Jiang Jichen and Youu were beings they could afford to ignore.

What they cared about were the Star River Divine Stone, the Blood Crystals, the Black Short Sword, and the Treasure Map.

Moreover, Xia Hao, the second young master of the Xia Family, had personally witnessed Jiang Jichen’s immense wealth at the auction. He was certain the man must still be carrying a vast number of Spirit Stones.

These were the Supreme Treasures that these people truly cared about and were fighting for.

Of course, the crowd couldn’t help but admire Jiang Jichen’s heaven-defying power.

They had originally thought he would surely die to the swarm of smaller Mutant Beasts.

To their surprise, not only did he slaughter all the small and giant Mutant Beasts in the entire Blood Radiance Forest, but he had even waited for the King of Mutant Beasts to come for him.

And in the end, he even managed to kill the King of Mutant Beasts.

Such a battle record was beyond what even "heaven-defying" could describe.

However, none of that mattered now.

No matter how glorious one’s achievements, if they couldn’t survive, it would all turn to dust. It would be meaningless, only benefiting others in the end.

Wan Shan’s expression changed upon seeing Xia Hao. "I didn’t expect Young Master Xia Hao to be so fast. How do you propose we divide the spoils?"

Xia Hao gave Wan Shan a meaningful look. "Young Master Wan, I imagine your goal wasn’t just to obtain Goddess Luoo, was it? You wanted to use her to make the Luoo Family submit. Therefore, you have no intention of killing Luoo Xiaoshuang for the time being."

"Therefore, Luoo Xiaoshuang is also part of the loot to be divided!"

"Your group can take Goddess Luoo, half the Star River Divine Stone, half the Blood Crystals, and the Black Short Sword. We’ll share the Treasure Map. Everything else belongs to me. Also, before you take Goddess Luoo, I get to have a turn with her first."

"This is my distribution plan. It is not negotiable."

Xia Hao declared tyrannically.

The expressions of Wan Shan and all his subordinates changed drastically.

By now, they all knew Jiang Jichen’s identity. Who didn’t know that the treasures and Spirit Stones he carried must be unparalleled in this world? Yet Xia Hao wanted to swallow it all in one gulp.

"Xia Hao, isn’t your appetite a bit too big?"

Wan Shan, naturally, would not agree and questioned him sharply.

"Yeah, that’s going too far!"

"It’s not fair! The two groups should split everything evenly!"

"Xia Hao, you’re too tyrannical..."

...

The crowd behind Wan Shan began to clamor, clearly unconvinced and in disagreement.

At that moment, the two Supreme Realm Cultivators behind Xia Hao immediately released their auras, pressing down on the entire area.

The terrifying pressure of the Supreme Realm instantly silenced the crowd.

Only then did Xia Hao speak. "Appetite must match strength. If anyone is dissatisfied, they can go die. I don’t mind!"

At this moment, Xia Hao was arrogant and smug, finally venting the frustration from being injured, beaten, and crushed in the bidding war by Jiang Jichen earlier.

As Xia Hao spoke, two more groups of people arrived. They occupied the remaining two directions, completely surrounding Jiang Jichen from all four sides.

There were at least three hundred people in total. The strongest among them was a Junior Genius Saint at the Eighth Realm, while the weakest was an Elite Saint at the Fifth Realm.

These people, naturally, had also come for the treasures on Jiang Jichen.

In the Valley of Ten Thousand Extremes, the truly supreme experts, such as those in the Supreme Realm, had likely already ventured into the valley’s depths.

The depths of the Valley of Ten Thousand Extremes were an isolated area, so they would naturally be unaware of what was happening here.

People like Xia Hao and Wan Shan were clearly strong enough to enter the depths of the valley, but they had remained in the central region specifically to wait for Jiang Jichen.

Therefore, in the central region of the Valley of Ten Thousand Extremes, Xia Hao and Wan Shan were essentially the top dogs!

However, the rest of the Cultivators, when united, were also a force to be reckoned with.

They were naturally dissatisfied with Xia Hao’s proposed distribution.

Xuu Zhuang and Qian Zhijing were also in the crowd.

When they saw everyone flocking to the Blood Radiance Forest, they had followed along.

"The Boss’s situation looks really bad. What do we do?"

Xuu Zhuang secretly sent a voice transmission to Qian Zhijing.

"We need to stir up chaos. Incite the crowd to reject Xia Hao’s distribution. Then, we can fish in troubled waters, make our move in secret, and find a chance to rescue the Boss."

Qian Zhijing replied without a second thought.

And so, the moment Xia Hao finished speaking, Xuu Zhuang, hiding in the crowd, shouted, "How can this be? Everyone who’s here deserves a share! At a minimum, every person should get one Blood Crystal! Besides, by now everyone knows who Jiang Jichen is—the Venerable of the Six Paths Illusion Realm, the Luochen Sect Master, the new overlord of the Southern Continent! The Supreme Treasures and Spirit Stones on him must be countless. They should be brought out and distributed based on strength!"

"Everyone, shout with me! Distribute by strength, a share for all who are here!"

Originally, the crowd was already filled with indignation after hearing Xia Hao’s words.

They had rushed here desperately, only to be told they would get nothing.

How could they possibly accept that?

Thus, provoked by Xuu Zhuang from within the crowd, everyone’s anger and dissatisfaction immediately erupted.

At the same time, they followed Xuu Zhuang’s lead and shouted, "Distribute by strength, a share for all who are here!"

This roar shook the area, causing the expressions of both Xia Hao and Wan Shan to change drastically.

Naturally, Wan Shan didn’t want Xia Hao to take so much, but he certainly didn’t want everyone to get a share either. Ideally, he and Xia Hao would just split everything between themselves.

After all, their two factions were the most powerful in the central region of the Valley of Ten Thousand Extremes.

Xia Hao was even more direct. "Hmph. Courting death. Attack! Slaughter them all!"

Hearing Xia Hao’s command, the two Supreme Realm Cultivators from the Xia Family charged out.

The two of them each faced a different direction and casually struck out with a palm.

SPLAT! SPLAT!

Instantly, a dozen people were turned into a mist of blood.

But this only threw the crowd into greater chaos.

Jiang Jichen, at the center of it all, had not said a word.

Neither had Youu.

In truth, they were both circulating a Secret Technique.

Jiang Jichen was circulating the Rebirth Secret Technique of the Demon Phoenix Technique.

This time, the circulation was different from before. It wouldn’t just heal all his injuries, but also restore all of his power.

That was why he needed so much time to prepare.

Taking advantage of the crowd’s squabbling, he had already completed the Secret Technique.

Youu was severely injured and on the verge of falling into a deep slumber.

But he had told Jiang Jichen that this was also the moment for him to break the invisible shackles within his body.

At this moment, Youu forcefully shattered the second invisible shackle. The backlash injured him even more severely, but... his power grew even stronger.

He temporarily possessed the power of the Half-step Supreme Above Realm.

"After this battle, I will fall into a deep slumber!"

Youu sent a voice transmission to Jiang Jichen.

Then, he suddenly charged forward to kill.

At the same time, Jiang Jichen naturally made his move as well.

Youu’s attack was incomparably brutal.

His targets were the two Supreme Realm experts from the Xia Family, as well as all the Cultivators at the Eighth Layer of the Holy Dao.

CRACK!

CRACK!

When Youu attacked, it was an Ultimate Kill, holding nothing back.

The two Supreme Realm experts had just been wearing smug expressions, but in the next moment, their faces froze.

Because they were watching their own Dao Bodies crumble, inch by inch.
